Market

From Wikipedia:

A secular market trend is a long-term trend that usually lasts 5 to 25 years (but whose distribution is more or less bell shaped around 17 years, in the stock market), and consists of sequential ‘primary’ trends. In a secular bull market the ‘primary’ bear markets have in the past almost always been shorter and less punishing than the ‘primary’ bull markets were rewarding. Each bear market has rarely (if ever) wiped out the real (inflation adjusted) gains of the previous bull market, and the succeeding bull market has usually made up for the real losses of any bear market. In a secular bear market, the ‘primary’ bull markets are sometimes shorter than the ‘primary’ bear markets (not often in the stock market), but rarely wipe out the real losses of the ‘primary’ bear markets during the cycle.
In the 1966 – 82 secular bear market in stocks, there was hardly any nominal loss, But, in real terms the loss was devastating. (In the past, most ‘housing recessions’ were of this slow nature — allowing inflation to keep housing prices steady)
An example of a secular bear market was seen in gold over the period between January 1980 to June 1999, over which the nominal gold price fell from a high of $850/oz to a low of $253/oz,[7] which formed part of the Great Commodities Depression. The S&P 500 experienced a secular bull market over a similar time period (~1982 – 2000).[8]

in my opinion there wouldnt be much changes in the short run but in the long run the ‘dominant design’ would take over. for example my european union teacher did a class execercise where all the participants from various countries of eastern , central and western europe talked about the pillow sizes in thier countries , almost everyone british , finnish, french, polish, hungarian complained they had problems sleeping with a german pillow , austrians on the other hand were very comfortable with them. she said that although the there is a standard measurement of pillows in each country but very soon the romanian or polish pillows would be the ones which would be standard as they are the cheapest and manufacturing is shifiting their. going by the same trend I presume that most bathrooms woudl have two changes

1) aging population across western europe would want safer bathrooms with non slip tiles
2) water conversation toilets in almost all of southern and central eurore

these would be the dominant designs of the future.

Today I look at some overbought conditions both on the RSI and MACD, and explain the significance in these embedded environments as we hit some extremely strong necktie resistances between two huge trendlines. While the 38.2% are very close, and people expect us to hit it, I believe the first push lower of either a reversal or consolidation might start as soon as early or late monday and will continue for more than one day. In this video I also look at the inverse H&S on the Dow and S&P that broke out and explain what the ramifications may be for a very strong red week. I also look at GS, AAPL, AMZN.

I’m looking to keep track of prices going up, down or staying the same and by what percentages.

Well, I don’t know about Canada as I live in the U.S. However, down here, we have organizations like the National Association of Realtors, the California Association of Realtors and the National Association of Mortgage brokers and etc. These organizations all keep records. Additionally, there are companies like Dataquick and Zillow that keep great records. If you do some research, I am sure there are similar companies in Canada that do the same. Perhaps the American companies have counterparts in Canada. Check with them.

I would define the ‘next generation mom’ as one who is a new mom today or would be a mom over the next few years.

What could be the cultural, socioeconomic, political, regional trends affecting the ‘next generation mom’ in China?

"’Next generation mom’ in the Chinese market"?! Are you planning on getting a mail order bride from China?

Market & Trends

it’s funny you asked this question cuz i was thinking to myself yesterday what a viscous market the sandwich business is right now. kinda funny.
subway is falling behind because of jared. people have lost interest inhim and they need to kick him to the curb. but on the bright side, they offer the lunch special at a discounted rate which is an incredible value in today’s lunching market. quizno’s obviously has the lead with hot sandwiches but it’s completely different in terms of sandwiches. also very expensive. togo’s is very competitive however they pissed me off long ago and i do not ever eat there.

Does it usually go up or down? What are some of the factors that feed into these trends?

The January affect is very valid.

This is not my opinion but a statistic, you should see how the first 5-6 days of the new year trade, if the S&P’s first 5 days show a net gain, the remainder of the year will be a bull market, this has been true 86.1% of the time since 1950 when this study began.

10 of the last 14 post-election years followed the direction of the first five days!

Also, every year since 1950 that January showed a net loss for the month, the year was either flat, or a bear market…WITHOUT EXCEPTION!

Again, these are statistics taken straight from the stock trader’s almanac.

The factors that feed into the trends, interest rates, business cycles coming to an end, market pshychology, sentiment being negative or positive, and the overall temperature for business in the economy at the given time, as well as how certain / uncertain business trends look for the next 6-9 months

Its a homework quesiton that I really need help on.

if the economy goes down, companies will suffer and there will be less jobs
